Replying to GoPro questions

Alright, sorry if there are already threads on this. I have been search barring for the past couple days and just havent gotten a straight forward answer.

So i got my GoPro 960p the other day and i love it. The quality is amazing, everything I hoped it to be. I have two questions relating to it.

First Question: I need a way to make a pole mount. I would buy the handle bar mount and all that but i just don't have the money for any of those. I know people have mounted it on their ski poles but that would not work for me. I go through poles in like 2 weeks since i have cheap rental ones and just keep getting those. I think its useless to get nice expensive poles. So i need a way to mount it on a pole made out of metal, pvc, anything that is really cheap. So if u can think of anything or know of anything that would be appropriate, please fill me in. +K

Second Question: My editing software for my GoPro. I am using iMovie right now and it is just not cutting it. It has no speedup/slowdown option and just multiple other problems. I would like to know of a video editing software for MAC computers that is free and downloadable. I don't want anything too fancy, just something that i will be able to use to make some decent skiing edits. I also would not like to torrent it as i have already tried that and it was way too confusing. +K

Thank you everyone in advance.
